As a child I always liked this DBZ movie, I used to think that Cooler was probably the most incredible villain I had ever seen thanks to his unique transformation. Watching it now I would say it is not as great as I remember it but it's still decent, the action is quite intense and even caught me off guard with some surprising and quite brutal moments. The story though isn't anything out of this world since it's just a typical revenge story but as always DB films are seen for the action not the story. The English dub's soundtrack actually surprised me a lot with its use of Disturbed and Drowning Pool songs.

Cooler is just as threatening as I remember him being back in the day, his Shredder-esque transformation is still one of my favorites to this day. His VA did a magnificent job at making him sound like someone who could strike fear in you just by looking at you. So far in the DBZ films I would say he's one of the most brutal fighters seeing him pick up Goku and slam him into the ground never gets old. Cooler's henchmen are okay, Salza is the one that stands out as the pretty boy with a French accent the other two are just generic. Unfortunately one of these henchmen has what's quite possibly the most annoying English dub voice in the entire Dragon Ball franchise. Neiz honestly sounds like a talking bird that got its testicles caught in a bear trap.

If I had any complaint it's that I thought Cooler ended up being defeated way too easily, I honestly thought it was BS how Goku stopped his Supernova. I would've also loved to have seen Cooler's transformation in action for a bit longer but hey all these movies only last around 48 minutes.
